Matsu gave a start as Gohan gasped for air when he was suddenly thrown from Miya's conciseness back to his own body.
" Well that was unpleasant ,remind me to never do that again " stated Gohan with a small grimace .
Matsu shook her head when Gohan looked at her and said " Don't worry Gohan , my past isn't interesting enough to bother with doing a memory dive."
The busty brunette looked at Miya who was starring at their ashikabi and realized that the two of them needed to work things out .
" Well , guys look at the time I guess I'll go get ready for supper ,but first. " She sniffs her clothes and follows with " I need a bath ." The number two sekirei then winks at her ashikabi and says with a sultry voice "Gohan I could use someone to wash my back."
She smiles when Gohan blushes a shade so crimson that a cherry would be put to shame. Seeing him so flusterd she grabs him by the hand and leads him to the bathroom .
Gohan couldn't believe what is happening to him , he was getting lead to the bathroom by his incredibly beautiful wife. Gohan being too dazed to put up any resistance is quickly ushered into the washroom .
Soft hands turn him around and he hears Matsu say in a sultry voice " Im getting undressed ,Gohan , no peaking ok?" to which Gohan nods his head vigorously . " Well you can peak if you want to Gohan, I won't mind " Matsu teases him.
A few moments later Gohan turns around when she tells him to and he sees a sight he will never forget . Standing a few feet away from him is a towel clad Matsu . Gohan stares at her barely concealed curves and her long legs .His eyes travel up her figure and linger on her breasts that look like they are about to fall out of the towel .
" Gohan my face is up here , you know " states Matsu with a giggle . " I'm sorry Matsu , I didn't mean to stare " Gohan stammers out as his blush intensifies to an unknown shade of red.
" It's alright ,Gohan, I already told you I don't care if you stare at me ." She pauses before continuing in a flirtatious voice " Actually I love it when you look at me like that."
Matsu seeing how embarrassed her askikabi was decided to take pity on him and told him " Gohan don't you think you should change?"
A few minutes later~
Gohan ,now undressed ,is sitting quietly on a stool while Matsu washes his muscular back .
Matsu says " I can sense you emotions towards Miya , Gohan." She pauses before continuing "I know you're confused ,but you need to know she is just as conflicted as you are ."
Gohan sighs and says " I'm troubled that she killed so many people and ..." Gohan is cut off here as Mastu places a finger on his mouth and says "We only killed those people because we had to."Another pause "That army was invading our home and was going to enslave and turn us into living weapons"Matsu explains.
A minute or so passes in silence as the redheaded sekirei cleans her ashikabi's back before Gohan speaks again. "I understand that she had no choice but that's not what's bothering me"states Gohan.
"What is the problem then ,Gohan?" questions Matsu.
"The problem is that she felt no remorse about killing them and that worries me" replies Gohan.
Matsu thinks for a few seconds before realising what the problem shakes her head and states"Gohan, what you don't understand is that we had only been on earth for a little over a year at that point."She lets that sink in for a moment before explaining "We were still learning emotions and morals ."
Matsu takes a deep breath and says "Both of us learned so much since then ."Gohan let's out a sigh of relief as if a great weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Matsu and Gohan had switched places so that he could wash her back . Gohan stops and stares at his wife's beautiful body . His eyes start at her slender neck and small shoulders .They follow her tantalising curves all the way down until her narrow waste and flared hips .
"Hmm ,Gohan, you are still bothered by something aren't you?"asked Matsu .
"Takehito"Gohan said morosely. Matsu takes a second to consider what to say before responding with "Ah that situation that is something you and Miya will have to discuss ."
"It's just that I dont want to replace him or make Miya forget him ."replies Gohan worriedly.
Hearing her ashikabi's self-loathing tone Matsu turns around and hugs him tightly as he begins to cry .
" I failed the people back home I just don't want to fail you two as well "said Gohan between sobs. Matsu rubs his back and whispers into his ear "Do not worry Gohan just be you and you'll be fine ."
After he stops crying she looks him straight in the eye with an expression full of love and says "Gohan ,both Miya and I feel that you're the best ashikabi we could've gotten ."
Later that night ~
Gohan laid awake in his bed ...sleep had eluded him tonight no matter what trick he tried .
Giving up on what looked like a lost cause he got out of bed and decided to read a book to atleast distract himself from his wandering mind.
The young warrior looked over the titles ,musing about how lucky it was that the language was the same here as it was at his home,eventually settling on a thick history book.
" Always learn because knowledge is power be it in whatever form" his mentor's voice whispered into his consciousness .
Remembering Piccolo brought more unpleasant thoughts to his mind and soon he started sobbing . At first it was light as he tried to fight it " Must remain strong " he muttered to himself .
But soon the damn broke and violent tremors overtook his body while tears began to cascade down his face.
Simultaneously ~
Miya massaged her temples to get rid of the dull throb that had been bothering her all night .
She was slightly worried ...no confused was more apt of a word to describe her emotions because sekirei never had headaches or any illness for that matter.
A stray thought came to her mind " What if this pressure was from Gohan."
The purple haired sekirei rose from her bed to check on Gohan but before she could even reach the doorway she experiences a debilitating wave of foreign emotion crash down on her.
~To be continued ~
Sorry about the LONG delay ...life got in the way. Figured some content was better than none.
Thanks to everyone who is still interested in following this story:)
This is going to be an emotional fic that MAINLY (but no entirety )focuses on Gohan adapting to a new world and him discovering whom he is...so probably not alot of action .
